Electrical safety for contractors on our railways

Electrical safety is vital when working near the train or tram network.

Electrified lines

Train lines

These train lines are electrified with 25 kV AC overhead wires:

• Seaford Line
• Belair Line (between Adelaide and Goodwood)
• Flinders Line
• Gawler Line
• Adelaide Yard.

Tram lines

Our tram line and tram extensions are powered by:

• a 600 V DC overhead wire
• a 600 V direct buried cable along the tram line.

This includes:

• the Glenelg tram line (Hindmarsh to Moseley Square, Glenelg)
• the tram extensions between Botanic Gardens and Festival Plaza.

⚠️ Important: Our underground services are not shown on Dial Before You Dig.
